    Setting

    Description

    NameEnter the name for this log source.
    Description (Optional)Enter a description for this log source.
    Qualys URL

     For more information on the API base URL, see Identify your Qualys Platform.
    The Qualys login link must be mapped with the API base URL. This will be used to make API calls to the Qualys FIM.

    For example, in the Identify your Qualys Platform topic, if the Platform URL under Your Platform is "https://qualysguard.qg2.apps.qualys.com", the Platform will be US2. The API base URL for the Qualys FIM beat will be the API Gateway URL mentioned under API URLs against the Platform. Therefore, the API base URL in this case will be "https://gateway.qg2.apps.qualys.com".

    UsernameThis is the login username used to access the Qualys Portal.
    Password

    This is the login password used to access the Qualys Portal.

  6. Click Save.
  7. Log in to the Client Console in Cameyo.
  8. Click Deployment Manager from the toolbar.
  9. Click the System Monitors tab. 
  10. Select the Action check box corresponding to the dpwac agent.
  11. Right-click the selection, click Actions and then click Service Restart.

A new log source is created with the provided information based on the virtualized log source that was already created. Collection should start automatically in few minutes.

The Open Collector hosts the log sources. It is recommended to create a new host entity and move the log source to the new host which is done in the log source properties screen and not from the log source grid.

For security, the values entered are encrypted using LRCrypt.
